Bethlehem



B  lessed star guided the wise men by night,
E  ach bearing gifts for the One True Light.
T  he birth of Jesus changed all things.
H  oly love filled the Bethlehem manger.
L  ove that draws in the humble stranger…
E  nlightened by our Saviour.
H  eavenly angels rejoiced at his birth.
E  ven the shepherds were singing on earth.
M  ary treasured God's greatest Gift.

Luke 2:13-20 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.  And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.  And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child. And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds.  But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart.  And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.
